To whom it may concern,
I am writing in concern about the development plan adjacent to 4 daughters farm on Stucky
Rd, in bozeman.
As someone who grew up in Bozeman, and comes from a long line of farmers and ranchers inthe community (my last name is Bos, from churchill) I am deeply saddened by the
development around a small farm that does so much for our community.
Four Daughters Farm is a wonderful family/predominantly women owned farm growingflowers and berries and other crops for our community.
With the rise in development around town, the influx in traffic around the farm coulddevestate the eco system these ladies have worked hard to cultivate. Not only that, but stucky
and 19th have had a huge change in traffic, and I can imagine another project like this will addto the chaos this town has created from approvals such as this one.
I think now more than ever, the city of Bozeman needs to listen to the people that actually care
about the welfare and the culture of our community. We are, and always have been, acommunity that values small businesses, empowering our tough montana ladies (i.e. the
women at 4 duaghters farm), the wellbeing of our lands and the people that feed us! A lot ofwhat we know Bozeman to be as now, was built by farmers and ranchers, it's time that we
remeber our roots and stop prioritizing developments that will devestate our community.
The housing crisis is a big one, I recognize the need for more housing, but let's come togetherand brainstorm better places for these buildings, and maybe even using spaces/buildings in
existence. Let's also promote buildings that aren't cheap in quality and cost a fortune for thosethat live and work here, think about US!
Please be considerate before approving this development. We, the people of bozeman, are sick
and tired of what it's doing to our community because of the lack of care our city commissionputs into these decisions, please think about the people you're serving.
Kindly,
Jenna Bos
